Except for Skyrim.

And people don't have time to play a video game after work? It seems kind of ridiculous to assume they didn't play it. That doesn't mean they learned anything, and I'd blame the press for underrating New Vegas and giving them a reason not to take notes.

Why don't you just not buy it? They keep milking the cow because you lee drinking the milk. If you don't drink the milk, they won't milk the cow anymore. But that also means you won't get the occasional gem like New Vegas

I mean, I thought Skyrim was fun and Fallout 3 was fun, even if I didn't think it was a great Fallout game. I expect Fallout 4 will also be fun. Thus, the cookie sheet metaphor doesn't apply. I'm proud of you for not making a "War never changes" joke there. You completely set yourself up for...

I meant the actual plot more than dialogue, that it makes sense and is original. Some of the husband-wife banter was funny. The Sugar Bombs comment was kind of funny

I'm definitely willing to give it a chance. As it stands, I'm cautiously optimistic actually. I think the settlement-building looks cool, the world will be fun, and the story will be better (even if it's not amazing). It's just the mechanics I'm worried about, but I'll see what happens

I've been to the Codex many times. It's definitely more strict than NMA, but to be fair, I think a lot of NMA at the time wanted a turn-based Fallout. I think the forum has become more diversified since then, but still, that's what I'm sure a lot of the older folks want. Some of the forum may...

Bioware did something, to be fair, even if they didn't completely fix that bullshit excuse for an ending. I'm still mad about it. I think Bethesda does listen to their fans, just not NMA. To be fair, NMA is a minority of the fanbase and isn't always the most friendly about making requests...

I'm not a big mobile gaming person either; I just got this because it was free and Fallout-themed. Usually I'll read articles online or listen to music. I have the first six Final Fantasy games + Tactics on my phone if I want something heavier, but I find them to be too instricate to play in...

It is a mindless game meant to be played on the toilet. I didn't expect much more than that, and that's what I got. It passes the time nicely and is an easy and occasionally funny diversion. There are some bugs, which I can usually fix by rebooting it. Then again, what Fallout game has...

You could just turn off notifications... Well there you go, you live next to "one of the worst colleges in the States." Not every college or major is like that. It's all good though :) Something encouraging: the Wii U, unlike the Wii, has sold horribly, so at least cheap gimmicks don't sell...

Exactly. And even in the humanities, not every professor tries to jam political views down your throat. I had maybe two very opinionated professors. Everyone else encouraged you to form your own views on with the information provided.

I don't know where you went/go or how long ago, but it depends on the college and the major. I don't think the engineers - who are pretty brilliant in my experience - are getting a heavy heaping of politics daily. My professors could be pretty ideological at times (I was political...

A proliferation of useless consoles that all play the same games? Poor critical reviews in addition to just one small Internet community complaining about how stupid everyone else is? Video games are about as healthy as they've ever been, the whole sexism issue aside. What we can hope for...

To be fair, one hour in real time is equal to 12.5 days in in-game time (one hour is about five minutes in Fallout 3, NV, and Skyrim). Maybe that's still a little short, although you can bike from NYC to LA in 10 days and I assume a bike and a horse move at about the same speed (I'm also...

That's not what he said. He said that scenario "reminds you how fun a Fallout game can be," which is very different and accurate in my opinion. Running around the wasteland to the Ink Spots killing Super Mutants is pretty fun. As for the game, I'm cautiously optimistic. The...
